For those that saw my comment in the daily recently, here's what that cream has done to my face. My eye lids are swollen, my face is red, sore and puffy. I gave myself a good coating of my original cream this morning. I don't think the pic does it justice but yeah, you get the idea.

( Try not to vomit, I know I ain't pretty. Well not at the moment anyway.......)

no idea what's happening here, but you should always test random products/chemicals/creams on a small part of your skin prior to putting it everywhere.

it helps avoiding total breakouts and allergic reactions to big noticeable areas like this.

future info that is...hope you heal well my dude

Thanks.

And urm, the doctor did actually tell me to do just that. I may be a bit stupid at times.

I've gambled much too often on the "spot test? ynah she'llberight" ride. Luckily nothing's been too bad or lasted too long but it took a few for me to learn how unexpected things can go.
